What is the difference between V and L cylinder arrangements?

[Journey]

1. L cylinder introduction: L refers to inline engines, where the engine block forms a 90-degree or near-90-degree angle with the horizontal plane, typically used in engines with 8 cylinders or fewer. 2. V cylinder introduction: V refers to V-type engines, where there is an angle between two rows of cylinders, usually 90 degrees or 120 degrees, mostly adopted by engines with more than 6 cylinders. 3. Specific differences: V-type engines have reduced height and compact structure with increased horsepower, while also operating more smoothly due to the higher number of cylinders. Inline engines feature simpler external structures and easier maintenance, making them suitable for vehicles without strict installation height requirements.
